ahem It is commonly believed by persons who don’t do digital, that doing digital art takes no talent, time, patience, or etc. However, one still has to have all those things to really make art, regardless of what tools you use. I’ve seen much digital art that is really no more than someone piecing together crap, not putting any effort into it, but then I have seen much non-digital art that is the same. Probably, so have the judges who made their decision based on their own experiences.

Since I can’t see what you submitted, versus what everyone else submitted, I cannot say that you deserved to get a lower score than they did or that you deserved to get a higher score than they did.

I can say, however, that I do truly kick ass on digital art precisely because I am that friggin’ good at any form of art I choose to express myself through – dance, beading, painting, doodling, drawing, interior design .. all of it. So, don’t make the mistake of assuming that “digital” is “talentless” Thank you!
